Cloning of PCR products with phosphorylated primers

For cloning DNA fragments by ligating with dephosphorylated vector DNA, the fragments should have phosphates on their 5' termini. Since phosphorylation of PCR products by T4 polynucleotide kinase is inefficient, primers should be phosphorylated prior to PCR reaction.
